About the series

In the quiet town of Hawkins, Indiana, strange events begin to unfold after a young boy mysteriously disappears. His friends refuse to accept that he is simply gone and start searching for him, soon discovering that something far more sinister is happening beneath the surface of their seemingly ordinary town. Their investigation leads them to a mysterious girl with extraordinary abilities and to a hidden dimension known as the Upside Down. As supernatural forces begin invading their world, the children and their families are forced to confront threats that grow more dangerous with every season. Across five seasons, the story expands from one disappearance into a much larger battle involving secret experiments, terrifying creatures, government conspiracies, and the fate of Hawkins itself. Along the way, the characters grow up, form unlikely alliances, face devastating losses, and discover that friendship may be their strongest weapon against the darkness surrounding them.
